The clip quickly made the rounds on social media, with fans and gossip columns buzzing. But now, Genelia is setting the record straight in an exclusive chat with Instant Bollywood.
When asked about the video and the reactions around it, Genelia laughed it off, clearing up the story in her trademark sweet and honest style. Is she a possessive wife?
“No. I was wearing heels and it was just hurting, and they were talking, Preity and Riteish, and I wanted to leave. But hats off to the cameraman who shot it. He did a great job of shooting it. It’s a good laugh,” she said, brushing away the drama with ease.

Is Genelia A Possessive Wife? “I Have To Be Riteish’s Number One”
Addressing the chatter about being a “possessive wife,” Genelia explained that these speculations mean very little to her. In fact, her bond with Riteish is far too deep to be shaken by such things.
“I’m very clear that I have to be Riteish’s number one. I don’t care about these things. They are too frivolous for us. We’ve dated for 23 years now! People keep trying to blow it out of proportion. The video with Preity was amazing, but there are so many after videos that have come out which are rubbish. I don’t think it makes any sense. It’s just blown out of proportion, trying to be something.”
And honestly, most people can relate to what she said next. The interviewer (Aaina Mehta) pointed out that her expression didn’t look like jealousy at all. It just looked like her social battery was running out.
Genelia immediately agreed. “I was dying. I was like, oh god, I wanna go home. But it was a good laugh.”
Her reaction just proves what fans have known all along. Genelia is as real and grounded as it gets. She doesn’t take social media noise too seriously and definitely isn’t afraid to laugh at herself.
At the end of the day, Genelia and Riteish remain one of Bollywood’s most loved couples. Their bond – full of fun, friendship and honesty – has only grown stronger over the years. And this viral moment? Just another funny story to add to their journey!
